Once again winning the toss, Kolkata skipper Ajinkya Rahane has stated the pitch appears to be dry and in the previous two games his team performed well playing from the top, so he has opted to bat first. According to Ajinkya Rahane, his team is dealing with one match at one time. Kolkata has made one addition to its team with Manish Pandey replacing injured Venkatesh Iyer.

As soon as Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni spoke, there was a lot of noise in Kolkata. Dhoni said that he has played a lot of cricket in and around Eden Gardens even before the start of his international career at this place. Dhoni said that his team's effort is to find answers to those questions in the remaining matches and prepare for the next season. Dhoni said that he was not sure what would be appropriate to do first. Today Sheikh Rashid and Sam Curran are out. Devon Conway and Ravichandran Ashwin have returned and Urvil Patel will also play today.
